Description

Some of us fear moments when we need to defend our theology. Some of us seek them out. But we are seldom ready the way Jesus seemed to be ready. So how do we draw others to God in the midst of these ordinary conversations the way Jesus did? In Speaking of Jesus, Carl Medearis draws on his experience of international reconciliation between Muslims and Christians to remind us of the heart of the matter: Jesus. Here he gives us tools, stories, and the foundation we need to move beyond “us” and “them” and simply talk about the One who changes it all. As Carl writes, “While others are explaining and defending various isms and ologies we’re simply pointing people to our friend. The one who uncovers and disarms. Who leads people right to himself. The beginning and the end of the story. A good story indeed.”

Who are we really

Excellent book. Separates Jesus from religion. When asking WWJD we first have to see What Did Jesus Do, or more importantly what He didn't do. The Jew looked down on everybody else, are Christian any different? Are you any different? Read the book and it will help answer the question.

Good book for Christians

This book is a fresh look at our place in the world as followers of Jesus. I stumbled upon is book in the iBooks store and am very glad that I did. It has great insights and presents a very accurate picture of the way the world perceives those who use the name "christian" due to their attitudes, world views, and interpretation of the Bible. His chapter on the history of christianity is amazing. I want to meet this author. Waning: if you're the religious type and are closed minded, you will not enjoy this book.

I enjoyed this book and believe the author is finding a way to get closer to man kind. I am happy to know that someone is out there letting people know that Jesus stood for something more and not Their religion! I feel man is worshipping His beliefs more than God. Jesus is the way to Christ. Christ is our salvation.
Keep up the good work.

One of the most helpful reads on living in relationship with Jesus that I have come across. The practicality presented is unarguable. This writing has caused me to take a serious look at my relationship with Jesus and those He loves (all mankind).

Be like Jesus...

This book has helped reshape how I interact with others. Be like Jesus if you're going to speak of Him. That is the long and short of it.

Where the church needs to show love

By Mosblest

A book that expands the role Christ followers must play in a growing world of non Christians and other faiths. Enemy love as Jesus teaches makes us re-examine why we every think of neighbors and strangers as enemies.
Hopeful and honest dialogue about finding common ground.
